Interludes of Life
--by Author Unknown
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy and enough money to buy gifts!
When one door of happiness closes, another opens
but often we look so long at the closed door that
we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be
perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with
our own image -- otherwise, we love only the
reflection of ourselves we find in them.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we
lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.
Always put yourself in other's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
no doubt it probably hurts the other person too.
Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss
and ends with either a tear or an eternal embrace.
We all come in this world alone
And we leave the same way
But in between
We have the chance to connect and help each other.
